Recently I was able to cross an item of my very large Disney bucket list. During a Disneyland vacation, I was able to secure a visit to the inner sanctum of Disney: the Walt Disney Imagineering headquarters located in Glendale, California.

Remember a while back when Disney was making waves in tech circles for, well, food reasons? At that time, several tech outlets were all abuzz with the news that Disney had filed a patent application for an “interactive cake.” Well, this week, Disney has finally let the cat out of the bag as it introduced Disney Wedding Cake Projection Cake Mapping at its Fairytale Weddings Expo.

Check out the latest from Disney Research: an air-powered "animatronic" arm. Why is this a big deal? Traditional animatronics use heavy motors and/or potentially leaky hydraulics. That makes it difficult to craft an animatronic that's not only lifelike in its movements, but light enough not to consume large amounts of energy, not to create substantial wear and tear and to be able to be used safely in close proximity to human guests.
